"HARRY".
been very interesting. i almost called it off after a few days. the guy was making me crazy. he had (has?) separation anxiety. we looked over his paperwork, and we found a small note. previous owner dumped him for barking..EXCESSIVELY! oh, crap. my wife is a saint. she calmed me down, and told me to give him a shot. i fixed the carpet in my truck (little effer)..and we moved forward.
we started training. i have never pretended to leave my home as often as i have recently. put on shoes, grab bag and leave..come back..repeat. wife is doing the same. we crate trained him. we can be anywhere in the home, say the word "kennel", and he will trot off happily and jump in his box. we praise him everytime. i think he is coming around. he doenst eat cat turds from the box, he ignores other dogs..and is smart as a whip. and he sleeps like a rock thru the night. only two pee accidents. and he hasnt tried to kill our cats. chickens and him..they have issues.
he is almost 11 years old, and must take meds for life. we trimmed 5 pounds off of him. we walk him twice a day. 4 miles total. i think my wife is slimming down too
30 days means our adoption fees are now not refundable. he gets to stay..hehee.
